I personally it's not just the player or marker but the people you play against. An intimidation factor isn't always the best thing to be bringing high to the table, if its new people playing with a 98 a electro will destroy them and frighten them while a pump still will destroy them but they'll only look at you like a great player and not be scared off.

I like them both.
I like electro's when I feel like being very aggressive, and quantity over quality
I like Mechanical when I am in the middle, I do like my cockers and automag
And pumps when I want to work on my fieldwork, and quality over quantity.

I find when I don't rotate through my mechanical and pumps and use my electronic paintball tossers for a month or more straight, my play does start to suffer and stagnate.

it fails hard lol, it has a mini autococker pump kit on a full size body....

pump guns i beleave are better basied on consistany, hard core pumpers tend to polish the internals and make sure that there input pressures are set correclty and corispond with the spring tention on the hammer. many of us use barrel kits to match paint. pump markers that are teched good and taken care of tend to shoot extreamly consitant, and consitancy is the best way to get a marker to shoot "ball on ball".
